So are we after our tango-less Monday. Come tonight and make up for lost time. ChuLo Manfredi will have a lesson with milonga steps at 8. Then you can dance the night away until 11:45. That’s all at SPC, as usual.
Admission $12 or $5 for full time students with ID.
Don’t forget to tell those neighbors, friends and distant cousins who have always wanted to tango that our Beginner Tango Lessons start next Thursday.

If you want to secure your place on the 2016 Olympic Tango Team, you need to start training immediately. Rio beckons.
Fortunately we’ve got the perfect coach for the tangathlete. ChuLo (whose team won gold at the San Marino Olympics) will be on hand Thursday at 8 to get us started with that all important teamwork.
If you know any tango wannabes who hope to qualify for the Team, please tell them our Beginner Tango Lessons start on August 23. Click the link for complete information.
Here are pictures of the medal ceremonies from last week. By the way, we never name you or geo-tag you in our photos. We wouldn’t want to jeopardize your place in the Witness Protection Program, even if you are an Olympic headliner.

First to ChuLo’s lesson about milonguero sequences for changing direction in tight spots. That’s at 8 o’clock tonight.
Then listen to the music. ChuLo will be DJing all night. He brings the Porteño’s passion for all things Argentine, a musician’s ear and a dancer’s sensibility to his music selections. He’s on a one man mission to make the level of DJing in these parts as good as it is in Buenos Aires.
Join us from 8 to 11:45 tonight at the Suzanne Patterson Center. $12 admission, $5 for full time students with ID.
If you’re still listening, remind your non-tangoing friends that Viva will have Beginner Tango Lessons starting August 23.

ChuLo is going to get you out. His lesson Thursday is on changes of direction for tight spots. Take a look at last week’s pictures and you’ll see ChuLo do some elegant changes of direction himself.

We’re that high falutin’. It could have been Sunderland or Tangoblivion or any number of other places but it’s going to be Viva.
We are proud and pleased to announce that Marcelo “ChuLo” Manfredi and his beautiful new dance partner, Michelle Dougherty, will give their world première dance performance Thursday night at 10:30 at Viva.

That’s the highlight but there’s more. ChuLo will give a lesson at 8 in lapizes and he’ll be DJing all evening. There’s also our seriously good floor and our seriously good air conditioning.
Set your DVR’s now. You can save that Rowing Event to watch some night when there’s no tango.

The tango numbering system stops at 8. Well, OK, there are Nueve Puntos but that’s a song, not a dance step. For dance steps we’ve only got ochos and the creative ways Vittoria and Guillermo can find to get into and out of them. They’ll be doing more of that this Thursday at 8.
Join us at the Suzanne Patterson Center three days from now. Lesson from 8 to 9. Practica from 9 to 11:45. Admission $12 or $5 for students with ID.

To boleos, ganchos and who knows – all from a simple back ocho. Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed. (98¾% guaranteed.)
That’s because we’ve got the musical (and not at all Seussical) Vittoria and
Guillermo to teach tonight. Come see for yourself.
Join us tonight at 8 at the Suzanne Patterson Center. Lesson from 8 to 9, practica from 9 to 11:45. Admission $12 or $5 for students with ID.
